A true garden stalwart in a beautiful range of pastel shades. 'Southern Charm' produces blooms in various soft tones of peach, lavender, and blush. Verbascum is an easy to grow, reliable perennial which produces tall, architectural spires in the garden. A beautiful addition to the back of the garden border. A first year flowering perennial, hardy to zone 5.    

Plant type: perennial 

Height: 36-42"

Planting depth: surface sow

Exposure: full sun 

Plant spacing: 12"

Approx seeds per packet: 15

How to sow: 

Sow seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost. Do not cover seed as light is required for germination. Harden off seedlings and transplant outdoors after last frost. Pinching is not necessary. 

Care:

Verbascum is best enjoyed in the garden, as vase life is only about 3 days. Use as a cut flower when vase life is not a consideration (ie: event work). Deadhead to encourage a second flush of blooms later in the season. 105-120 days to maturity.
